i was riding the other weekend with a guy on a cr125 (01) same thing happend, thought he boilded his bike. ended up having a crank seal leak. check to see if you have water in you radatior, if not then its in your crank.
And welcome to KB as well

As always try another plug, once they foul they can be a cuss & not run -even if they spark outside the cylinder.

My old RM used t eat plugs like crazy. I found that if you ran teh proper expensive one it lasted ages!! There was a weak spark issue too (found by next owner).

The only thing worst is not having a spare spark plug with you, and getting towed 10km and roosted the WHOLE way!! that lesson learned me goood:crybaby:

yeah, that sorta thing happened to me, stopped to wait for a mate about 1km into a trail ride, and the stupid thing wouldnt start again, and of course i didnt hav any tools on me, figured it would be just as easy 2 push the bike back through a few paddocks towards the pits instead of the hassel of being towed, but the worst thing was that i had to push my bike through the kiddys track, that was embarassing :bash:

got back to dads ute, and pulled the plug out and put a new 1 in. started first kick.. now i always hav a spare and a spark plug spanner with me.
